Moving to Little Rock Can Be a Family Affair

05/09/2018

Moving
to Little Rock is a big undertaking, but
you don't have to deal with it by
yourself. Rather, you can turn
moving to Little Rock into a family project
that boosts some family bonding time
together and makes the whole job a lot more doable—and
perhaps even enjoyable.

Here
are several pointers to get the entire
family taking part in the project.

Get
Organized

The
day prior to packing, hold a family
meeting and review the moving assignments
that need to be completed. Assign
jobs to everyone with clear instructions
about how to accomplish them. Your kids might enjoy to-do
lists—there is something pretty satisfying
about checking
something off as complete, no matter if you are young or old! Young children may enjoy
helping you label the boxes, or even embellishing
them with markers or crayons. Build a
sense of teamwork, and when it's go time...

Make It an
Event

Packing
sounds an awful lot like a chore. Instead
of asking (or demanding!) the kids to do it haphazardly
on their own, schedule a day or
some chunks of time and have everyone pitching in. When you commence,
prepare a special drink or snack and have
some pizza delivered. Encourage everyone to
communicate with each other if they need help.

Remember
to take break times for treats,
and agree that when the packing is done,
you'll all do something fun as a
family. That could mean going out to
dinner, or doing something different
in your new part of town! You could even award
prizes for getting the most done in an
allotted time frame or for donating the most unwanted or outgrown items. Which leads us to:

Sort
Through Old Items

There
is little reason to pack and move
any items your children have stopped wearing or playing with. Conserve
the space and time by getting rid of them prior
to your! Even younger children can decide if
they have some items they don't play
with anymore. You might choose to donate
those unwanted items to children in need, which can be
an enriching process for
your kiddos, too.

Get Garage
Sale Ready

If
you're going to have a moving sale, ponder letting your children save
the profits from their
contributions. This might inspire them
to get rid of a few extra toys and clothes
they don't use anymore, and it helps them feel more a part of the process. They may
be more willing to help you work the garage sale, also!

Let Them Handle
Their Rooms

If
your kids are old enough, you can have them pack their own rooms. Provide some quick instructions on how to pack clothes, awkwardly shaped
items, pictures, and more. You or the moving company can handle the big or fragile items.

Box
Together

Work
collectively in the living room
and other shared areas. Younger children can easily pack books and other non-delicate
things; older children and teens can help
you with items like plates and utensils
and small appliances. Use the time to talk, or
take turns picking your favorite songs to share with one
another.
